A wander around the lagoons searching for a possible migratory wader proved fruitless, but plenty of interest was still available, in the shape of insects, with the 1st common darter of the year being witnessed as well as numerous common blue butterflies, small whites, large whites, commas, meadow browns. Also: azure and common blue damselflies along with 2 balck tailed skimmers.
Highlights of the birds were a family of 4 lesser whitethroats, 30+ migratory sand martins, 2 juvenile kestrels and numerous swifts and house martins.
Upon returning home, I recorded 32 black headed gulls over the garden as well as a solitary song thrush.

Photos show the underwing pattern of a common blue butterfly, a grey heron, green woodpecker and a red admiral butterfly.
